Paint Color Scanner

Paint Color Scanner is a paint color finder and color scanner in one: point your camera at any wall, fabric, or object with a color you love, and it instantly reads the exact shade under the crosshair — then matches it against a database of 11,000+ real paint colors from Sherwin-Williams, Behr, Valspar, and Glidden, so you know exactly what to ask for at the paint store.

How it works

Open the app and point your camera at any surface
Line up the crosshair on the wall color, interior paint, or object you want
Tap the shutter — the app reads that exact pixel color, names it, and shows you the closest real paint match with brand, color name, and product code
Tap the match to compare it side-by-side against your photo
Save any color you want to remember, complete with a photo thumbnail, right from the scan screen or the results
Organize saved colors into projects — by room, by job, however you like — or leave them uncategorized
Browse and manage everything you've saved in the Saved Colors screen — swipe to delete anytime

A quick note on accuracy

Lighting conditions affect how a camera reads color, so results — including paint matches — are a helpful starting point for narrowing down your search. Use the white balance calibration for better accuracy, and always confirm against a physical paint swatch or sample pot in the room's actual lighting before buying or painting. Paint Color Scanner is not affiliated with Sherwin-Williams, Behr, Valspar, or Glidden.
